Hello my lovelies. I would like to thank lovely21 for the wonderful review. I would also like to thank those of you who have followed and favoured this story since my last update.
So here's the next bit, I hope you like it.
Just to say I have been really bad and started writing yet another story that you might be interested in, it's called Come Fly With Me and is yet another Destiel human AU.
Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.
Dean and Charlie returned with bags of things and a lot of noise. Not that Gabriel was surprised by the latter, though he was starting to get a bit worried about the former. Just what had they planned to do to his apartment? (You'll just have to wait and see Gabe.)
It took them 2 hours to finish but once it was done Gabriel had a beautifully laid table with candles in the middle. Flowers dotted around on the sides and lighting done so that it was low and romantic but they would still actually be able to see. The shelves which were filled with cooking books and various dvd's looked tidy (even if they truly weren't) and the bathroom was spotless. Charlie having cleaned it within an inch of its life very much in the belief that if the toilet was clean then a lady would be more likely to return. (Well you can't argue with that logic can you?) And so, after one more quick check Charlie left saying she had to go and met her other clients for an evening of comedy, whatever that meant, not that any of them were willing to ask her mind you. They would leave her to her dating business thank you very much and they would stay well clear having all been touched by it at some point over the last year.
Dean and Castiel were just considering leaving as well when the buzzer went for the door again. Dean and Cas would have thought nothing of that had it not been for Gabriel's reaction. He jumped and check his watch and then practically ran to the door to go down and let whoever it was in. So of course Dean and Castiel shared a look before they both moved as one to the top of the stairs to listen.
"Well, well, well as I live and breathe, it really is Gabriel Novak." Said a male voice that they didn't recognize.
"Yes could I-" Gabriel tried to say, but the voice wasn't going to let him off that easy it seemed.
"You know, I thought the name on the package was wrong, but obviously not." It said with humour evident.
"Yes obviously, can I-" Gabriel tried again only to be foiled once more.
"You know I don't think I've seen you since-" At that it seemed the voice was taking a break to try and remember and Gabriel took his chance.
"Can I just get the package please?" he interrupted he did not need to go down memory lane right now with the courier he could barely remember, though the courier obviously remembered him. He wasn't that memorable was he? (Yes, but for all the right reasons I promise.)
Finally extracting the box from the man Gabriel carefully turned and returned to his apartment to find Dean leaning against the wall with a raised of an eye brow and smirk and Castiel frowning at him with crossed arms.
"What did I do?" he asked. He really had no idea why Cassie was angry with him now.
"Who was that man?" Castiel snapped at him.
"Honestly? I have no idea. He was just delivering the wine for tonight." Gabriel replied without looking his brother in the eye even if strictly speaking he wasn't lying. Dean of course being the detective he was picked up on all that in a split second. (Of course he did.)
"So where did you get the wine from?" He asked causally turning so he was still leaning against the wall but was facing Gabriel head on and crossing his arms as well. In that second Gabriel suddenly understood why all those criminals confessed to him readily, he really was quite scary when he wanted to be.
"Fine. Shiva sent it to me. That guy works for him." Gabriel caved. He knew neither of them would give up until he did and he needed to go get ready and start the prep for the evening.
"Kali's father sent you wine? From New York?" Castiel asked in astonishment. He couldn't quite belief it. (It's true I promise.)
"Yes." Gabriel replied gently placing the box down and opening it to see what he had been sent. Looking at the bottles he let out a low whistle. Shiva certainly hadn't skimped on theses that was for sure. Before Castiel could come forwards and look at the bottles or comment anymore Dean grabbed his arm.
"Come on angel, let's leave your big bro to it. It seems he has her dad's approval and everything." He said smirking at Gabriel who wasn't actually paying an attention to Dean and Cas any more. He was busy working out how this evening was going to go. So it was with an absent wave of his hand that he acknowledged his brother and Dean leaving.
Once he had sorted all he could in the kitchen he went to his room to have a shower before he changed into the suit he was wearing this evening. Walking into his room and putting the clothes he was changing into on the bed he made his way to the bathroom only to suddenly reverse. It seemed that Charlie and Dean had been busy in here as well. There was new sheets and duvet cover on his bed and on the tables on the side were two scented candles (Gabriel really didn't want to think where they had gone to get those) and there lying on his pillow was a dvd and an envelope. Picking up the dvd his eyebrows rose as he wondered which of the two decorators had supplied him with porn. Casa Erotica 13 it be exact. In fact looking at the case the guy looked at bit like he did, and he was wearing a red waistcoat. Gabriel suddenly understood exactly where Dean's comment on the outfit he had shown them all before he went out on his non-date with Kali had come from. He really did look a lot like this porn star in this movie. Hmm, he wondered if Cassie knew Dean had seen this enough to be able to comment on his similarities to the actor. Oh now that could be an interesting little tip bit to keep in mind if Dean ever got annoying and at least now he knew who the dvd was from. So what was in the envelope? (Well now that is a question isn't it?)
Picking it up he found it was heavy, puzzled he opened it and tipped it up and out onto his bed fell a pair of very realistic handcuffs and a note which read
Hey Gabe,
Just thought you could make use of these this evening, though I would request that you give them back to me once you're done. Don't think the chief would be too pleased to know I have been giving out department property to my boyfriend's brother.
Anyway enjoy the cuffs and the movie, maybe you and Kali could re-enact it? You've got the costume after all.
Enjoy your night.
Dean (Oh Dean.)
Gabriel just shook his head at the man, how his brother put up with him he didn't know, what he did know was Dean was never getting the cuffs back and the dvd was going to be hidden under his bed to be kept for use against Dean if he should ever need it. Once done he returned to his original plans of having a shower and changing.
